Agreed. Of course personally, I'm in favour of going Python 3/Unicode everywhere, it's the Unix guys with their legacy distros and Python installations and bytes-based filesystems that get in the way of that :-) And I don't think we're brave enough to force *Unix* users to use the right type for filenames :-) Paul _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
